Very hit-and-miss. Took me three attempts to get logged in, then three more attempts to get to this board and make this post. Here's the error that Opera displays, fwiw:

It works like usual on all browsers on my desktop (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) but produces a warning that the connection is not private (and may be trying to steal my financial information) on all browsers on my iPad (Safari, Chrome, Edge). Those browsers indicate that the certificate date is not valid.

For me It's working much better now, I don't see errors and the speed seems normal (I even saw errors in the archived forums yesterday and now they seem fine too).

Thanks for the effort, tank.

It's strange that the certificate says not valid before 10/2/21, 12:42:38 AM and not valid after 12/30/21, 11:42:37 PM, yet it's still shows as invalid while saying my system clock is set for October 3, 2021. Whatever the issue is, it's consistent across all the browsers on my iPad and iPhone as well.

Anyone else having issues with the website on Apple devices? On other mobile devices?

It's been similarly slow for me for the last couple of days (Chrome on Windows 10).

Only every so often, the response time is normal as one is used from other forums.

i dont want to disable encryption yet because that opens us to attacks. im still trying to look for solutions, what i do know is when a request is made the connect occurs and the cert handshake seems problematic. keeping the http connection open. this leads to have to many active connections open and then more delays and eventually the equiv of a ddos. rebootion or restarting the servive drops all those connections but results in data loss from the current dropped connections.

Ahh okay, makes sense. I've turned on cloudflare "under attack mode" to help mitigate traffic for now.
